RHBA-2010:0853 - xguest bug fix update
Synopsis
xguest bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated xguest package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The xguest package sets up the xguest user which can be used as a temporary account to switch to or as a kiosk user account. These accounts are disabled unless SELinux is in enforcing mode.
This updated xguest package fixes the following bug:
- Previously, xguest installed its 'sabayon' profile file in the wrong directory. This would cause packagekit and seapplet to be started by default for the xguest user. With this update, the 'sabayon' profile file is installed in the correct directory. (BZ#641811)
All users of xguest are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
